Thomas and the Magic Railroad - Movie Synopsis & Plot

THOMAS AND THE MAGIC RAILROAD brings the magic and charm of the incredibly popular children's television series, Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, to the big screen for the first time in a part live-action, part animated new film.

Eleven-year old Lily (Mara Wilson) ends up in scenic town of Shining Time after she takes the wrong train on a visit to see her grandpa (Peter Fonda), a once happy railway engineer who now lives a solitary life. In Shining Time, Lily meets the magical Mr. Conductor (Alec Baldwin) and embarks with him on an adventure via the Magic Railroad to the Island of Sodor, a toy-world where Thomas, the tiny blue steam engine, lives.
